Review quote

"Lyrical, provocative, passionate and thought-provoking."
--"Kirkus"
"In Middle Ground, Kacvinsky presents a compelling argument for the lost art of conversation, set against a dark version of our possible collective future. Maddie is a pleasingly reluctant heroine, resulting in a story that is as fresh as it is timely."
--"School Library Journal"show more
